Greetings from The Woodlands, TX

Howdy! My name is Zendiver (aka ZD, real name is Robert) and I have a diving problem. I can't seem to get enough, stay too wet, and all I think about when I am not training - is diving. I have been diving a bit over 6 years, have over 1100 dives (900+ of them in the Flower Gardens). I am one of the lead DM's for Gulf Diving (formally Rinn Boats) and I can be found mainly roaming the decks of the MV Fling during the summer. I am currently an SSI DiveCon, a PADI Assistant Instructor (AI), and a NAUI Large Boat Supervisor (LBS). I am approximately 35 hours away from getting my 2 ton vessel Captain's license. I love shooting underwater video and have gotten pretty good at it. I also do all my editing on our Video Toaster at work and on my media computer at home as well. My videos can be seen from the link in my signature.

I am the Founder/Owner of another young but succesful site; zendiving.com. I have also procrastinated way too long about coming over to the 'dark side' so this year is the year for me to take the plunge. I see a rebreather in my future, but not this year, hopefully by 2007.

Looking forward to learning and the opportunity to dive with you someday.

Robert,

I would have to say that your parents made a great choice in names!

Welcome aboard Rebreather World, and welcome as well to the "Dark Side" of diving!

We've got a great group of folks here, a lot of whom are into u/w videography as well as rebreathers. With your love of diving you should fit right in!

Again, welcome aboard!

Welcome Robert;
Glad you are here. Enjoyed working with you last year. This is certainly a great place to share knowledge.
Robert is a total pro as a big boat DM. He will be great addition to this site.

Hello ZD,

I would like to come see your flower gardens. Let me know when the next sorority from Austin has your boat booked and I'll be there to help out with the adult babysitting.

Thanks for the welcomes all. It is a pleasure being here learning from everyone and hope that I can contribute in any way.

Looking forward to diving with all of you in my backyard of the Flower Gardens.
